and LOL when I reread that.
You just proved it even more. A real driver was able to reproduce just about the same results you did in a stock car (as in the driver in that case might have been held back by the car) so your handicap (intake, exhaust, cold/lean night air, etc) made up for the lack of experience!
Go put the stock shit back on, and run it again. If you come within .3 from that “pro driver” then i will say hiphiphoray!
with a pro-driver a stock evo IX goes 13.4@104 according to car and driver.
100% stock the car went 12.98@103.
best mph was 104 or 105, cant remember.
i’m pretty sure a X can get down to a 13.2 in 100% stock trim.
and by no means do i consider myself a pro driver LOL
Magazine times are usually trashhhhhhh
You are .4 seconds faster than a pro driver, so you are an elite driver!
first pass ever down a dragstrip at the age of 16 i ran the same time as C&D in my whip. magazines ftl
gotti, why is there a pic in your sig with a trophy next to your car? what in the hell did you do to get a trophy with / for that car? i would consider a stock version of your car to be worthy of a trophy if anything… after the rice and stone chips i dont see what the big deal is
The trophy is from the Tri-vette autox.
I did what people said I couldn’t…I drove my car hard and well and took home first place at a sanctioned autocross event. I plan on attending more. Like everyon else, I aim for first place. Whether I get it or not is a different story. Rock chips just mean I use my car everyday and dont trailer queen the bitch
Okay, this makes a bit more sense but you don’t need to preach to let me know you’re not impressed with low 13’s on a 300hp awd car. Just say that lol I know you guys dont like the phoenix, but you dont need to. I do, and since its my car, thats all that matters. Acetone will take that right off if I ever choose to. The only bolt on I plan to get (after the tune) is a FMIC so that would disappear anyways.
No. They mean you did something retarded. I drive my car every single day and I don’t have any rocks chips.
99.9% of every car on the road gets rock chips and bug debris on the front of them. I just happen to own a car with thin paint. All the darker lancer (not just evo) colors chip easily for some reason. Presumably due to lack of quality paint and/or thin coats.
Yea, on the FRONT of the car, not on the side. I’m not hatin’ on you, you just say some dumb shit man.
Some of you like to roll race on the highway…Ernie likes to do donuts in gravel…Who cares…
Well the comment was about the rock chips on the FRONT of my car…hence my response about how I drive it and the front gets chipped…its inevitable, really.
^^My mazda is the same way, I think its all that “green” painting and shit they are trying to do… Less paint is not better!
Pretty sure Singh was talking about the chips from your little off-roading adventure.
Ernie as much as a ride you for the shit you do to your car, i do give you credit for bringing home first in auto-x. definately shows you can at least handle the car. def better than what i would be able to do in autox
I’ll quote it for you:
Since the pic in my sig is ONLY of the front of my car, I’m going to ventur to say thats what he was referring to…at least thats my interpretation…
Thanks man. I read a bit on evo forums about this and very few dudes auto x these in comparison to those who take them to tracks like LRM. I’ll tell you, its far more difficult to control this car around a tight course light that than it is around large swooping corners at 70. I mean, I’ve never done a big track yet, and I wanna, but I’m willin to bet the car is more at home on such a track than a gokart track hahah
Yeah…Your car was retarded on that track…I feel like a shitty driver for hitting 5 cones…lol…
huh
WTF no the pic in your sig has a trophy, so i was like wtf why in the hell would you get a trophy… but you told me autoX so i guess that makes sense.
I’m talking about the rock chips on the side of your car bruh, everyone can get them on the front but only you take a brand new car and get them on the side…
WOOT !
